early shopping
i have been woefully neglectful in all things to do with my beloved little blog.
i will make an effort to commit to at least one new post a week,so here goes...
i bought my first Christmas present of the season over the weekend.
todd oldham's shinyhappy big book of charley harper's life in illustration
charley harper: an illustrated life
this is a gift of course for my coffee table. what?
anyway,i have always been drawn to charley harper's illustrations,before i knew the name of the person behind the drawings i remember seeing his work in a cookbook that my mom used when i was little...i tried to mimic him,i would rather draw than cook!
i can cross my coffee table off of my list now.

i have potent,fond memories of taking an old box,of which i chose carefully (as size was everything,it had to hold imagined loads of valentines!),gatheringtin foil,construction paper scraps,doilies & newspaper then spending hours designing and crafting that box to the nth degree.
love was so much simpler then.
